On the 27th of August, a major anti-Fascist mobilization in Berkeley, CA succeeded in stopping a planned "America First" alt-right/Nazi rally by occupying the intended site of the racist event. DC activists responding to a national call for solidarity protests held a speak-out at the Albert Pike (Confederate/KKK) next to MPD headquarters.

In Berkeley, only about 100 Nazis or Trumpers showed up after "alt-right" organizers claimed to have cancelled permitted rallies in both Berkeley and San Francisco. This "remnant" turnout was far short of the thousand or so fascist thugs that showed their ugly faces in Charlottesville. They found themselves facing thousands of counterprotesters. As in Charlottesville, the Nazis lost the site of their planned rally, but this time they lost it directly to counterprotesters.
